You may have picked up the fact that even though I do most of my work out of New York, I actually live in Idaho, which is a beautiful state with more mountains, rivers and wilderness than any state, with the exception of Alaska. And even though it's no longer full of Nazis, outside of somewhat liberal Boise, most people would vote for Genghis Kahn if he was a Republican...
So, lots of shock and horror around here with the news that Republican Senator Larry Craig was arrested and pled guilty to soliciting gay sex from an undercover cop in an airport men's room. Particularly as he was big on "Family Values" and had voted for every gay bashing bill that ever came before him.
Now he's protesting it's all a mistake and he isn't gay. Which isn't the point. What's pissing most people of is that like so many other right-wing do-gooders in Washington... He's a hypocrite. Anyway, his career is over, so he can now cruise as many public toilets as he likes and no one will care... Except his unfortunate wife.
